Story and Page Filter (Specifics for SAP BW)

SAP BW usage restrictions that you need to be aware of when you use SAP Analytics Cloud story or page filters.

Note

Dynamic filters that are defined in BW Query designer are not supported in SAP Analytics Cloud story or page filters.

Zero suppression query settings will always be disabled.

Hierarchy Variables

Hierarchy variables shouldn't be used if your story contains story or page filters. The page filters don't change to match your hierarchy when you use the variable prompt to change your hierarchy values.

Drilling on Unassigned Nodes

Drilling on an unassigned node doesn't return consistent results. If you drill on an unassigned node in your chart and save and close the story, when you reopen the story the saved data is not returned. To resolve this issue, deploy the following SAP Note to your SAP BW server:

  • SAP Note 3029060 Information published on SAP sitedesc: InA: Rest node initially not expanded if dimension is initially on free axis
